Calendars on iCloud sync only one way?

I'm a new iPhone user, longtime Mac user. (iPh 5, iOS 6.1.4 iMac 10.8.5) Calendars are on iCloud. If I enter an event on my iMac calendar, it shows up on my iPhone rapidly. The reverse does not work - events entered on the phone do not show up on my iMac. No obvious setting difference - what am I missing? Thanks.

When you add an event on Iphone, 3rd fields down from bottom, select calender > iCloud. Voila!!
I am not sure everybody understand really the intention with iCloud. It is one single calender residing on a Apple server somewhere. Selecting iCloud from any device will show this calender. Then how to sync this with other calenders is to me a mystery, or not possible, especially on Lion iCal. Please anyone.

My iPhone calendar and iCloud sync only one way

My iPhone 4 (iOS 5) calendar and iCloud sync only one way -- from iCloud to the phone. Any ideas why I can't sync from my iPhone calendar to iCloud?

HT1386 How do you sync only one way?

I want to know how to sync only one way because there are some photos from our previous apple devices and I don't want those photos to appear onto my new one when I sync to put the photos or videos onto the computer. Does anyone know how to do it without messing up the system?

The photos are now on your computer and you don't want them on your new iPad?
Then move this photos on your computer to another location (folder) first and then sync.

Can I make OneDrive Pro sync only ONE-WAY?

Can I make OneDrive Pro sync only ONE-WAY?

That sucks. DropBox can.
We want to SYNC literature down to sales reps and not have the sales reps accidentally erase from the Cloud for all. Hence we want a one way SYNC to have them SYNC literature onto their computers for remote
access to the files.
Surely SharePoint cannot be that far behind DropBox.
Is there no way to achieve that?

Why is Mail rule syncing only one way?

Odd. I've got a Mac mini and an iMac, both running 10.8.2, both with iCloud syncing Documents & Data. Mail on the mini has rules -- created on that machine -- for SpamSieve that are not syncing to the iMac; in fact, both rules disappear every few days and I only notice because spam starts piling up.
On the other hand, changes to Mail rules on the iMac are synced to the mini. The mini has been running Mountain Lion for five months; the rules only started disappearing after I upgraded to ML on the iMac last month.
Any ideas on why the syncing is only one-way?

It appears that I can't edit my original question. So here is new information. It is syncing. However, the contacts are syncing with my personal folders. The calendar is syncing from Outlook to Ipad from my personal folders. However, the calendar is syncing to Outlook in a hotmail calendar in the profile that I didn't know existed. How do I get it set right.
I tried to select the calendar. However only one calendar is available in itunes. It must be the correct calendar as it is syncing fine. So how do I get ipad to sync back to the personal folders calendar instead of the hotmail calendar in my profile?

ICal sync only one-way

Lion OS on iMac. Syncing using iCloud. An iCal event entered on iPhone will show up on iMac iCal, however, an event entered on iMac iCal will not show up on iPhone. Events enetred on phone or iMac DO appear on web iCloud.
Address book contacts (also synced with iCloud) work both ways, it appears to be only iCal events eneterd on iMac that do not show up on iPhone.
I have checked to make sure all cals are visable, and all sync settings are on.
Ideas please.
Bill

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Ipad 3 is syncing only one way with outlook 2010

I am seeing calendar items that I add in Outlook 2010 added to the Ipad. However, appointments added in Ipad are not being added to Outlook.
I have not checked contacts (All were added to the Ipad).But I have not tried adding a new contact yet.
Is this normal behavior? If not, how do I get it to work properly?

Calendar syncs only one way

Just got into iCloud. Calendar from iMac went into the cloud calendar without problem. Adding new event from iMac or MBA goes t the cloud canendar without problem. However, the entry from MBA doesn't show in the iMac canedar nor does the iMac entry show in MBA calendar.
Uff Da!! While I was typing this both showed up. That's about 45 minutes after I entered them. Is that delay expected? The new events showed up almost immediately in the iCloud site calendar but it took the 45 minutes to get into other device calendars.

Fred and Radio, thanks.
My "refresh calendars" said "push." No idea what that means but I changed it to 5 minutes. Interestingly, shortly after sending that I tried again and the response was about 3 minutes. I live in the country, telephone and ISP service sometimes erratic. Perhaps the problem is between me and the main digital highway? Well, anyway that's an easy way to pass blame without much chance of being called on it.
Fred, the boat is on jackstands, covered in snow. Will be moving her to Bayfield (Apostle Islands) next spring. Hope for lots of mini cruisiing.

Calendar and Contact Sync: Force one way only?

Is there any way to force Outlook to always be the sync "master"? i.e. regardless of what I do on the touch (say, delete a contact), when I sync, the touch will be forced to match Outlook (and replace the contact)?
Or is that the default behavior, and I have some other issue?
I have had a couple of instances of appointments being deleted from Outlook during the sync (I think the "do not sync appts older than 30 days" really means "delete" them in outlook")

You are able to export your contacts and import them to your Gmail account. Below is a very good post that will provide you the steps to export the contacts using Backup Assistant and then import them to your Gmail account.

Please note, you must have Backup Assistant on your device to be able to export the contacts.
In regards to the calendar, you can view other calendars by following the steps listed below:
1. Select the Calendar icon
2. Select Menu
3. Select More
4. Select Calendars
5. Select the calendars that you want to display

Ovi syncs only one way

I want use the online Ovi Calendar (calendar.ovi.com) which seems pretty nice.
BUT... it only syncs from my phone to the internet! If I add an appointment on my phone, it appears on calendar.ovi.com. but if I make an appointment on calendar.ovi.com, it doesn't appear on my phone!!
This is so annoying.. Nokia has a lot of these fails.. argh they NEED to FOCUS on this stuff!!

try to resend the synchronization settings to your phone and synchronize again
try to go under manage your device>remove your device>then add your device again>then sync again
try to go under Manage calendar and check on your settings

Purposefully NOT syncing only one calendar in iCal, possibility?

Does anyone know of a way to purposefully NOT sync only one of my ical calendars across MobileMe, while still syncing the rest?
I'm using the calendar in question to automatically run an application every hour on my home computer using ical alarms. I have my home computer and work computers synced through mobileme so that my calendars will show up on my work computer. Problems is I do not want the application to be run every hour on my work computer. Unchecking the calendar did not seem to stop the alarms from going off on the work computer. Can anyone think of a way I can keep the calendar at home but not have it sync to mobileme?
Thanks!

I bought and have used BusySync with great success http://www.busymac.com/
My only caveat is that I've had problems recently that are probably due to the fact I've also installed Appigo Sync, and with syncing via MobileMe I may have had too many cooks in the kitchen.
Good luck!

Please Help!!

You do realize that the SIM only contains account information for your wireless account.
Moving the SIM from phone to phone does not cause any of your iTunes content, contacts, email, etc to magically appear on the device.

Can someone explain to me why iTunes will only sync photos ONE WAY from my PC to my iPhone, and not vice versa?

I have photos on my iPhone and want to put them on my PC. Should be straightforward, right?
So I go ahead and install iTunes, and plug in my phone, and sure enough iTunes tells me I've got 1610 photoes on my iPhone. It won't let me actually SEE them, of course. Fine (no, not really fine). So I create a blank folder on my PC and proceed to do a sync. My options are to (a) Sync FROM "My Pictures" to the phone, or (b) choose another and sync FROM my PC TO the phone.
Where is the option to sync FROM my phone TO my PC????
It boggles my mind that I have to go outside of iTunes and use Windows Explorer to copy the photos from the phone to the computer. So I go to "My Computer" and within the iphone Internal Storage there is only a DCIM folder and two sub-folders. There are only 800 photos there! Where are the other ones?
Evidently what I can see from Windows Explorer is ONLY the pictures I took with the phone itself, and NOT the pictures I saved from email attachments or instant messages! Why? Where are they and how can I access them???
SO far, the closest thing I have been able to find is to have to buy a third party App like "Simple Transfer" to do this. Is this really the case? Or am I missing something?

Photo sync is only one way, computer to iPhone.
To get pictures from the iPhone to the computer, copy them to the computer as you would with any other device.
Pictures saved from emails or instant messages (if done on the device) are in the camera roll.
Pictures previously synced to the device from a computer are not available to be copied off the device. They should already be on a computer.

Iphone 5 - only one way synchronization with iCal

Hello community,
Since I have my new iPhone 5 the calendar synchronization is not working properly anymore which means only one way from iCal to iPhone but not the other direction. I could not found a solution in the diverse support communities so maybe you have an idea what the error might be?
I am synchronizing locally via iTunes from a Mac Book Pro and I am not using iCloud.
It would be great if you could help.
Greetings from Zurich,
Heike Anna

This is generally an indication that the synchronization framework on your machine is not handling data changes properly, and must be reset.
To reset it, launch iSync—that's right: iSync, not iTunes—then…
• open the Preferences… dialog
• press the Reset Sync History button
That will remove the records currently stored in your truth database, and force a first-time, slow synchronization event when you next launch one in iTunes.

I have several groups on my Mac Address Book and would like to sync only one group to each IOS5 device (each device getting a different group). Is this possible?

I have several groups on my Mac Address Book and would like to sync only one group to each IOS5 device (each device getting a different group) via iCloud. Is this possible? If so, how is it done?
Thanks in advance,,,,,

Can we control syncing at all? I can't seem to make a Local/On My Mac group in Address Book.
